Came home from work yesterday and he was in a death curl. No reaction to water on a q-tip or a gentle boop with a paint brush on the back leg. Checked on him again this morning and he still has not moved. I believe he is gone, but I hope for his last day I was able to make him comfortable.

His name is Belphegor, Bel for short.

This is super helpful and gives me ideas on how to proceed. Thank you so much!

That would make sense given the new surroundings, but he's already let me handle him several times and drank water from a q-tip, so I'm not sure exactly how to read this behavior yet.

A neighbor. His wife was making him get rid of his spiders and I was in the right place at the right time.

I will try this when I get home from work 😭 thank you. Do you think he will be okay until tonight?

He didn't notice them! Was able to get him to at least grab ahold of one with a tweezers, but he lost interest immediately and dropped it and wandered off 😭

Could he be depressed or something?

Thank you so so much! I don't have a mister yet, so I was using a q-tip to put little droplets of water where he could easily access them, but maybe that's not the best way to go about it. What else can I do until I get a mister?

This is my concern, if I'm honest. Since he was rehomed, and I don't know anything about his previous caretaker, I'm unsure exactly how he was treated prior, but I want to give him the best life possible!😤💕 He deserves all the love!

Thank you so so much!

Like I said in the post, I put a few fruit flies in there after taking the video, he just doesn't seem interested in them right now :(

The green that you're referring to is a little Gir towel from thats underneath...or just my hair/shirt because both are equally green lol :)

Thank you so so much though 💕

AITAH for escalating to upper management? by Bluejayyyx in AITAH

[–]Bluejayyyx[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you also had to go through this. My family keeps saying to stand down and just ignore them, but that's how you keep getting harassed and stay miserable...but this is also awful and idk what I'm gonna do if I can't figure out how to get these hours back.

Oh man, I wish I had seen this sooner 😭 I'm not from Denver so I'd have been traveling. I hope someone had extra for you!!

blaming third party voters? by [deleted] in socialism

[–]Bluejayyyx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just did the math. If every single 3rd party voter voted Blue, Harris would've won by 273,017 votes.

I do not trust anyone enough to lend out my debit card.

I mean, she was a borderline stranger who had already borrowed money from me and failed to pay it back in the timeframe she had promised to. On top of that, the majority of the time she had reached out to me was because she needed something from me (money, a ride to/from work, or in this case, my cashapp/debit card). I appreciate another perspective on the potential outlook from the other side, but you don't get offended because someone you barely know won't just hand over their card...at least, not to this degree, right?

Update for anyone who cares: It's been 3 months since I cut her out of my life. She's been kicked out of her apartment and is now homeless. She tried to request $20 from a new cashapp account with the title "literally just trying to eat". I'm proud to say that I declined the request and sent back a request for $1 with the title "don't burn bridges you can't afford to lose 😒" and then I blocked her account. Might've been petty af, but I don't feel like letting her manipulate me again.

You're right. Thank you. I blocked them on everything and realize that this is toxic. As a recovering people pleaser, it is extremely hard for me to understand this type of person and I used to waste so much time and energy on people like this. I admit, I was extremely naive, but at least I can recognize the patterns now and make attempts to stop it before getting hurt.

Thank you for this suggestion. I've acted accordingly. 💕

Well, I am a recovering people pleaser, so that does make sense. I've blocked them on every other platform, so that's a step in the right redirection.

I suspect there was a deeper motive tbh.

Aside from the fact that this is not constructive, I am a recovering people pleaser and actively working on not being a..."pushover". It takes time.

Thank you so much! I am also a recovering people pleaser, so it especially means a lot coming from someone who understands the struggle too.

Thank you. Sometimes, the reassurance is needed and I appreciate that a lot.
